London Stock Restaurant

After three successful years in Wandsworth, his neighbourhood restaurant has relocated to Mayfair, but the approach and quality are unchanged. Staff are attentive and professional. In the kitchen, British produce gets the global treatment, inspired by London's thriving multicultural community, so you can expect vibrant, innovative dishes with well defined, balanced flavours. The eight-course tasting menu evolves with the seasons, and an autumn menu might kick off with a simple and well executed little starter of smoked burrata, served with a pistachio pesto and some fresh radicchio. Follow that with red mullet, marinated and cooked with the skin on, deliciously crisp and adding great textural contrast. An accompanying bouillabaisse is refined and packed with flavours and a velvety parsley sauce adds another element to the dish, and works very well with both the mullet and bouillabaisse. A well-seasoned beef tartare, made with rump rather than fillet, comes with figs for sweetness and is garnished with dots of miso and halved pearl onions. Spot-on risotto with green asparagus and watercress leads on to a beautiful piece of confit salmon with fennel and Granny Smith purées – a very elegantly presented dish. Next up, lamb saddle with Mediterranean purée, kale and black olives is a simple but perfect concept. A refreshing and visually appealing dessert of mango and pineapple with lime gel and coconut ice cream and you’re on the home straight – a take on classic tart Tatin, with thin strips of apple rolled up into a ball and beautifully caramelised, sitting on pastry, with marigold ice cream, brings things to a satisfying conclusion.
